More Stupid ‘Bread and Circus’ ideas…

Pardon me if I don’t jump for joy, but this is more of the same stupid ‘bread and circus’ politics that Bush has been feeding us for seven years. The only thing changing is who foots the bill, but if you think the oil companies won’t find a way to get their money back you are kidding yourself.
